We stared early again to avoid the sun. This time to Oak Creek at Grasshopper Point. Grasshopper Point is a
swimming hole, therefore, the focus is on water pictures.
This is a fun picture - can you see the composition? It is a reflection of the shore - then turned
upside down so the top is the reflection of the forest and at the bottom is the shoreline.
Oak Creek coursing through some rocks - slow water.
Up close to the water over a few rocks.
The stalk of agave growing on the cliffs overlooking Oak Creek Canyon. The colors on this stalk were so
striking.
In the afternoon we hiked the Loy Canyon Trail - but not the whole way. We stopped a few miles in at a large rock
mesa which was close to the creek cutting the canyon. The reason for the detour was petroglyphs.
There were some carvings and some paintings a very good range of art over the ages. H
Several works were in white - here is an animal high on the cliff. Graffiti damaged several of the works.
A thunderbird drawing
There were several snake looking drawings.
One of my favorite drawings - a hunt scene. Even the arrow has motion indicated.
